There is a question being asked: Is it too late to start a landscaping business by the end of 2021? The answer is definitely Not! If there is a great time to start a business, now is the time! There is no better day, nor a month, nor age to start this. People have started their businesses during economic recessions throughout history. So why would you wait until the pandemic is over before you get out of bed and do something?
During this episode, I'll discuss why you should consider starting your own business before the year ends.
I was forever changed from the moment that switch-hit my brain that I'm doing this full time. It took me six weeks. So that six-week period ended up in the middle of July. Now, I don't care when you're starting, if you've got the hustle, you've got grit, and you got fire in your eyes, there's something about the hustle when you are on fire, and you have what I call a positive expectancy. That means you have an expectancy for something good to happen. And it's positive, like, hey, what you got for me, let's go, I'm ready to hustle.

Why do you have to listen to today's episode?
1:21 - Here is why you need to start your business this month and not wait till next year. Do not ask, do not hesitate. Get up, move around, and start hustling.
7:29 - Do you know why I want to encourage you now to start this? I met a dude who hesitated to start his own business in the past and hesitated to begin, but he started his business anyway. When we spoke later this year, his business was already worth $12,000 that month, he bought a Dingo machine, and he was so happy he put in his resignation, he quit his job. So now, I want you to experience the same thing.
8:52 - "Keith, I'm hesitant because I know it's hard to start a business at this time." My friend, I know it's hard. Let me tell you some tips... Starting a business has three stages. Pay attention to these three levels that you need to consider.
10:17 - My words might seem simple to you. However, I have experienced them firsthand. Here's my story...
13:57 - Never let the moment pass without starting or hustling. The time is now.
Key Takeaways
"It's a whole lot of work. But
there's a feeling when you take a leap, and you pull the trigger,
and you jump out and do something that you're afraid of because you
don't know what's gonna happen, like you don't know if you're gonna
fail. But when you actually take the leap, and you cut the rope,
and you have to point at it, like you cross the Rubicon, it means
the point of no return, when you cross the Rubicon, you can't go
back when you cross that thing. So all of a sudden, now that you
know your back's up against the wall, that's when you like the
afterburners kick on, and you become on
fire."
"And
then you'll be talking to some other guy. And they're afraid to
start their business, or they're afraid to go to full time. And
they'll be like; it's the middle of August or September October. I
don't think I can do it. It's too late. And you'll be like, wow, I
started my business in November, the last month of the year. Well,
we started doing fall cleanups. It doesn't matter, man. You just
got to start now and get out there and get it. And If you don't
start it, and you don't do it next year, or the next year or the
next year, and you never do it. Nobody cares. You got to set
yourself on fire."
